March 05: Good morning … back on-line

Greetings all. Back on-line. It’s amazing, when I started doing this there was no Internet or cell phones. I don’t know how I got it done.

Back at Port St. Lucie this morning where things are working. At least they are now.

Our blog system at The Journal News had problems yesterday in that your comments could not be posted. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the blog. It is supposed to be up and running today. You know I try to answer your posts, so when you got nothing back from me you probably figured something was wrong.

Then, there was no Internet in the press box in Fort Lauderdale. Dial-up worked for one post, but after that the little hour glass spun around long enough to spill enough sand on a small beach. Everything timed out.

I wanted to post when I got back to the hotel, but the wireless there wasn’t working.

Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience and many thanks for those who checked back to see if I was on. And, for coming back today. Have a good day and come back later. Hopefully, we’ll do better by you today.
